Oven Valets offers cleaning and detailing of stoves, ovens, BBQs and other kitchen and outdoor cooking appliances for residential properties. 

Wayne Hunt, partner, said growth is certainly on the cards.

“We’d like to see five new franchises this year in New South Wales in metropolitan areas,” he said.

Referrals are key to the business, with 18 percent of client base coming from word-of-mouth.

The initial investment for an Oven Valets is $20,000 and the franchisor takes care of all bookings and client dispute resolution on behalf of the franchisee. Marketing and supply of all products and tools required are provided at no charge to franchisee for the term of franchise agreement.

Who is an ideal franchisee?

“They’ve just got to have an eye for detail and be prepared to work,” explained Hunt.
